TO THE READER. 

In this work, Dr. Noah Webster's key to the 
Pronunciation of long, short and occasional 
sounds of vowels, diphthongs and consonants is 
adopted ; and the origin, meaning, application, 
and correct spelling and pronunciation of un- 
usual words and names are given briefly in foot 
notes thus : — 1 Am'per-sand. The name of the 
character &. 2 An'a-dem, Greek avdSrma, A 

garland ; chaplet or wreath. 

(3) 



ALLITERA TION. 



The Alliteration contains about five hundred 
lines, and more than two thousand words, and 
all words, except those of the foot notes, and 
some on the title page begin with the letter A. 



THE AKGUMENT. 



It must be observed that the cardinal virtue of Tem- 
perance has hitherto chiefly appeared in a prose dress; 
sometimes quite plain, and sometimes very natty and 
picturesque, but seldom in the soft velvet, or glossy satin, 
or gorgeous brocade and delicate lace of real poetry, and 
never in the rich poetical costume of apt Alliteration's 
artful adaptation. The making of this unique garment 
for the sweet angel of Temperance, has been a very diffi- 
cult but delightful task; and now, thus attired, she goes 
forth to strew her blessings all over the world. 

Observe further. The whole Alphabet is brought into 
a Temperance Convention, of which every letter is a 
member. They organize by electing Ampersand (&) 
chairman, and decorate him with a wreath or chaplet. 
He makes an alliterated address and the organization is 
completed by electing the letter Z assistant chairman, and 
the letter X secretary. Then the letter A is called to 
deliver an address, which he does, using no words what- 
ever but those which begin with A. 

Most respectfully submitted, "pro bono publico" by 

the 

Author.

to enhance their beauty. 

Dr. Shaw — an eminent Oriental traveler of fifty years ago —

Ages ago, — as authentically 



pletely dressed," and their toilet finished, " till they have tinged 
their hair and the edges of their eyelids with al'-ka-hol, the 
powder of lead ore." From this impalpable powder the name, in 
its present form, Alcohol, is applied to other subtle substances, es- 
pecially the spirit or principle of fermented and distilled liquors 
which inebriates or produces drunkenness.

1 " Arab Alchemist ;" — It is said the Chinese knew the art of 
distillation long before it was known in any other part of the 
world ; but it remained for an Arabian chemist 800 or 900 years 
ago first to obtain clear and distinct Alcohol while searching for a 
universal solvent. 

2 Al ' ka-hest, — A pretended universal solvent. Also written Al- 
cahest. 

3 Alcohol is produced by the double process of destructive and 
constructive chemistry. By subjecting to saccharine fermentation 
certain vegetable bodies'as potatoes, corn, rye and barley, which 
contain a large amount of amylum or starch, the starch is there- 
by changed into glucose or grape sugar. Then follows the vinous 
fermentation which changes the glucose into carbonic acid gas 
and Alcohol, and then as the Alcohol is separated from the residu-
